...And I highly recommend you read his SABR bio, very interesting fellow.

As a natural born eccentric myself, Titus has always been one of my favorites (just behind Mike Donlin, drinking was a hobby of mine also). I recall reading that he once walked about 6 miles back and forth to sign a new contract in order to save about 20 cents in cab fare. Married a 17 yo when he was 39? I approve. I have an EPDG of him which would surely make a 3 or 3.5. I'll sit back and wait until I can trade it for a Plank.
